Fans of Star Trek will get some great laughs from Q-in-Law, a novel by Peter David. When the U.S.S Enterprise-D is scheduled to host a marriage between the children of two rival tribes of the Tizarin race, everyone is in a joyous mood. But when Counselor Troi’s mother Lwaxana arrives on board to attend the ceremony, she meets the omnipotent and mischief minded being known as Q. He begins his usual reality-bending antics but finds himself mysteriously drawn to the strong willed Lwaxana. As sparks fly between the two, the bride and groom begin to have doubts about each other which threaten to plunge the rival tribes into war. It’s up to Captain Jean-Luc Picard and his crew to save the marriage, prevent a war, and maybe even discover a connection between these two romances that no one expected. While this novel might be hard to get into for those that aren’t fans of the series, the writing is superb and I felt like I was watching an episode of the television show, and I highly recommend this to anyone who is a fan of the series, or anyone who wants to get into it. I give it 4/5 stars! Review by Barron. (Fiction) 07/31/09
